7321.11.30.10 - Of a maximum width not exceeding 70 centimeters

This HTS category encompasses gas-fueled stoves and ranges, as well as those capable of using both gas and other fuel types, that are designed for domestic cooking and warming purposes. Crucially, these appliances are distinguished by their physical dimensions, specifically having a maximum width that does not exceed 70 centimeters. This includes a wide array of cooking units from compact portable stoves to built-in cooktops and freestanding ranges that meet this width requirement.

The primary differentiating factor for this classification lies in the width of the appliance. This category is precisely defined as covering units with a maximum width of up to and including 70 centimeters. It is distinct from sibling categories that cover similar gas or dual-fuel cooking appliances but are wider, specifically those exceeding 70 but not exceeding 80 centimeters (7321.11.30.20) and those exceeding 80 centimeters (7321.11.30.50). Importers must carefully measure the widest dimension of the appliance to ensure correct classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the defined scope of gas or dual-fuel cooking appliances of iron or steel meeting the specified maximum width of 70 centimeters. This means that any domestic cooking appliance falling within this width parameter and operating on gas fuel will be classified here, provided it is not explicitly covered by a more specific heading.
